Police said they are investigating a report of what appears to be a hand grenade that was discovered in the water at Cooley Landing.
East Palo Alto police said the person who found the item removed it from the water and placed it on shore before notifying police. The area was cordoned off as a precaution and the bomb squad arrived at the scene around 2:45 p.m. to assess and safely dispose of the item, authorities said.
Police said they are treating the item as “potential hazardous” until it can be evaluated by bomb technicians.
